SIXERS Spring Into Action--Week 4

Hey Ladies, I didn't get on the scale today, as my trip to DC was filled with food and drinks... (I feel horrible)... and I know if I got on the scale it would be up... and it would do more harm than good to my motivation... I am back on track, tracking and exercising... and I will weigh-in next tuesday... (hopefully I will see a loss).

I hope everyone is doing well!!!!!

Today I slept in... so I didn't really eat breakfast, so the plan for the rest of the day is....

L: Cranberry chicken salad sandwich on light wheat
S: pretzles

grilled chicken, rice and veggies
S: low fat ice cream

Where does the time go? Not having regular internet access right now and having to use my blackberry's internet adds to my not checking in I'd like to think! :-D

I am in Barnes and Nobles reading a running magazine... wishing I had brought my running clothes and could find a trail to run on really quickly while I have a break. School is busy, I'm trying to find a house, frustrated that I'm not losing weight, wondering if I should give up on my other program and just go back to the free ones. Then part of me also feels like WHAT HAPPENED!?!? I used to be able to lose weight or at LEAST see muscle changes rather easily. and then I realize I don't workout for HOURS at a time like I used to. :-/ well, back to the magazine reading right now, and I'll hop on the treadmill tonight and may just walk for 30 mins during my break today. I am determined to reach this weight loss goal. If I can do everything else, I'm SURE I can get this done too. Plus, who wants to start residency on a diet? I want to be at least CLOSE to my weight loss goals, you know, so I can focus on LEARNING and treating my patients. :-)

On a personal note, I finally am done talking to my x-fiance. but he is not taking it very well. Makes me stressed. and I'm staying away to insure my safety (even though we've never had issues like that before.) Maybe one too many episodes of First 48/snapped. but better safe than sorry! :-D :laugh:

OK, done disclosing personal stuff online, to unsuspecting Sixers! :-) Love you all! Keep up the hard work!

evening,

tiff...so glad to see you. you are doing great. i think maybe stress is causing the stall in your weight. you have allot on your plate right now. i would finish everything up and than dig in with all you got. in the mean time just keep it in the back of your mind when you eat, so you will continue to eat better. you do know MFP is on blackberry now? it's nice when away to track things.
julia...watch that back. yes i think i tone with shred. i do it when i feel like it. i don't do it regularly, i use to. but, i have been doing the C25K so i do shred or something else on the non run days.

AFM...went to sons trailer. we started painting today. found out he has water. so excited to get that hooked up. just kilz the living room today. he needs to pick his colors. he is working on one room at a time to finish it. he wants to get it livable so he can move out. the living room his is first room. so i work on that and the kitchen since they are connected.

big neighborhood yard sale saturday. taking one of the grands with me. will need to plan a special day for the other grand. to do something she likes.

lula....you are doing great
1) doing good
2) 3 out of 5 so far good almost there.
3) you have already ran 9.5..so you only need 10.5..that's only 3.5 a day. you can do that.
4) not bad
keep it up.

afm...i have already been to the gym today. i figured i had to go before i got on the computer or i won't go at all. my back start aching again, so i came home. but, i just have the feeling i don't deserve the calories burned. anyone ever feel that way before?
i think i had a good workout, i sweated and had to really push myself. maybe just tired. anyway. it's done.

have a great day

You guys help to keep me sane, especially in the early morning hours of work when it is dark and quiet and I'm left alone with my thoughts. So THANK YOU!!!!

Great job Phoenix. Whatever you are doing, it must be working.

morning,

what a day yesterday. went to 70 yard sales, drove by most. visited about half. came home changed clothes off to sons to paint. no one charged the batteries for the drill, parks water was turned off cause someone broke their valve. than home to paint shanells bar stools. than showers. than off to shanells to return her child. (who spent more than me at yard sales LOL). than we all went out to dinner. ( over ate way too much, excuse i was tired and hungry). scale was mean and nasty this morning. i am still tired. have some running to do today, other wise i am not doing a darn thing.

later

Sorry Cathy, the weather was way too nice in Indiana for getting on the computer this weekend! It sounds like you had a busy day Saturday. What kinds of "treasures" did you find at the garage sales? I'm having one (my first at my house) May 20. Can't wait!

I didn't log at all this weekend but I'm pretty sure I did OK. Went to the gym both days this weekend, plus I burned 850 additional calories digging up a new garden bed in my backyard today (wore my HRM the whole time). I'm sure I burned even more later on today as well. Bought 40 bags of top soil with DH and helped load and unload the truck. Can't wait to get it done this week. Also, can't wait till May so I can plant my tomatoes, and peppers, and squash...

Julia - I got a pedicure this weekend too!
Lauryn - My 30th is in June too! June 4, when is your's?
Lorna - I'm going to TRY to start running some distance again... Maybe I'll join you in the 20 mile/week club. I'll let you know!
Kristin - I don't think I've told you this lately, but your daughter is so unbelievably CUTE!!
